Beech Class spent the day exploring inner London’s only surviving windmill (Brixton Windmill), stepping straight into a slice of local history. They discovered how windmills work, learned about the clever engineering hidden inside these towering structures, and imagined what life was like when people relied on them every day.
The class then put their new knowledge to the test by experimenting with wind power themselves. Working in groups, they designed and built their own mini windmills using bottles, boxes, and cogwheels. Once their creations were ready, everyone gathered to test them, compare designs, and puzzle out why some spun faster or more smoothly than others.
It was a day full of curiosity, teamwork, and proud smiles as Beech Class engineered their way through history and created some impressively efficient windmills of their own.
Beech Class had a memorable morning planting willow saplings with Trees for Cities. Wearing sturdy outdoor boots, they filled wheelbarrows with fresh mulch, dug planting holes, and uncovered earthworms, snails, ants, and other little curiosities. It was hands‐on science, great enrichment, and a chance to leave a greener legacy for our urban school.
Black History Month 2025: Standing Firm in Power and Pride - Beech Class celebrated by recreating a design that shows our unity as a community. We turned it into a vibrant class flag and joined the whole school for a joyful walk through Bell Green Park. Huge thanks to Mrs. Payne for her amazing artistic help. It made our flag extra special!
Creekside Discovery Centre - children investigated rivers at low tide through a lively mix of science, geography, and history. They handled real artefacts from a shipyard, railway, slaughterhouse, pottery works and a blacksmiths’ forge, uncovering stories from the Thames’ industrial past. Using fishing nets, they explored the river’s living world, spotting all sorts of creatures, and even bravely handling a crab. A highlight was the race between Astro and Oreo to measure river speed, though Astro may have had a little help from fans with sticks. The children also loved wading into the creek, giggling as mud squelched under their fancy waders and water splashed against their feet. A huge thank you to the wonderful parent volunteers who helped make this muddy, splashy adventure so memorable. Your support made all the difference!
